1. Using a small sharp knife, remove white rind and cut cheese into 2 cm (3/4 in) cubes. Season flour with salt
and pepper.
2. Beat eggs in one bowl; put breadcrumbs in another.
3. Dip cheese cubes in seasoned flour, coating each piece thoroughly; shake off excess.
4. Dip in beaten egg, then breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly, firmly patting them into place with a table knife. Chill
for 20 minutes.
5. One-third fill a deep-fryer with vegetable oil and heat to 360F. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower cheese
cubes one at a time into hot oil; do not overfill pan - cook cubes in batches.
6. Deep-fry for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown; remove with slotted spoon and drain on absorbent kitchen paper.
7. Serve immediately on warmed plates, as the melted cheese oozes out on standing. Garnish with sliced plum
and a little Chinese plum sauce (also known as Duck sauce).
